Imaginative play is a wonderful way to get your kids, and classroom to be fabulously creative. Today we are sharing a 26-page workbook with you that gives you all you need to get a grocery store, or supermarket, set up wherever you want.
This is a resource within our premium site – so come and join us FOPR FREE for yet more amazing printables.
We have loads of resources in the premium site that you will get instant access to for free if you join – and you’ll know you are giving to charity too. Every view of any page on the site does after all!
What is this imaginative play kit like?
This kit consists of 26 pages for you to use to create that perfect grocery store to encourage the kids to pretend, and role play.
We all need to let our customer know whether we are open or closed, so our first sheet is just that – the signs to add to the “door” to let them know whether you are available for them to buy from.
Page 3 provides some name badges for you to create for those working in the shop. Who will be the cashier, and who is the store manager in your supermarket?
Our fourth page lets you create the different sections that your customers can buy from. You can combine these printables with some of the amazing pretend play resources for supermarkets on Amazon. How about checking out some of them?
The next page continues the signs for the different sections, and then we move on to making sure that you have everything that you need within the store. We have built an inventory list for those working in the store to use.
You have to make sure you have enough stock, so we have to note when items are sold from the store, don’t we?
We’ve got a grocery list for the customers, and some more signs for the shop now; for sale ones so that you can have special offers.
Why not give customers discount code, and bar codes on the items as well? We do have UK versions of the bar codes as well, of course. No Euros this time around we are afraid – hopefully what we have here is good enough for you to play with regardless.
The final sheets are all money, with denominations in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500. Above are the examples for $ and £ for the ones!
We also have both cents and pennies too for cutting out and using in your activities too:
Coins are available in 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 denominations.
We hope you agree that this should be more than enough to get your shop going.
